Recently, very interesting results have been obtained concerning the Fourier spectra of power permutations over a finite field. In this note we survey the recent ideas of Aubry, Feng, Katz, and Langevin, and we pose new open problems…

Let $F$ be a finite field, $\mu$ be a fixed additive character and $s$ be an integer coprime to $|F^\times|$. For any $a\in F$, the corresponding Weil sum is defined to be $W_{F,s}(a)=\displaystyle\sum_{x \in F} \mu(x^s-ax)$. The Weil…

We prove a conjecture of Helleseth that claims that for any $n \geq 0$, a pair of binary maximal linear sequences of period $2^{2^n}-1$ can not have a three-valued cross-correlation function.

The Riemann Hypothesis is a conjecture made in 1859 by the great mathematician Riemann that all the complex zeros of the zeta function $\zeta(s)$ lie on the `critical line' ${Rl} s= 1/2$. Our analysis shows that the assumption of the truth…

In recent work by Isett (arXiv:1211.4065), and later by Buckmaster, De Lellis, Isett and Sz\'ekelyhidi Jr. (arXiv:1302.2815), iterative schemes where presented for constructing solutions belonging to the H\"older class $C^{1/5-\epsilon}$ of…

In this paper, we prove a conjecture proposed by George Beck, which involves gap-free partitions and partitions with distinct parts.

The union-closed sets conjecture, attributed to P\'eter Frankl from 1979, states that for any non-empty finite union-closed family of finite sets not consisting of only the empty set, there is an element that is in at least half of the sets…

Let $G$ be a group and $H_1$,...,$H_s$ be subgroups of $G$ of indices $d_1$,...,$d_s$ respectively. In 1974, M. Herzog and J. Sch\"onheim conjectured that if $\{H_i\alpha_i\}_{i=1}^{i=s}$, $\alpha_i\in G$, is a coset partition of $G$, then…

We study three integrals related to the celebrated pair correlation conjecture of H. L. Montgomery. The first is the integral of Montgomery's function $F(\alpha, T)$ in bounded intervals, the second is an integral introduced by Selberg…

In Telatar 1999, it is conjectured that the covariance matrices minimizing the outage probability for MIMO channels with Gaussian fading are diagonal with either zeros or constant values on the diagonal. In the MISO setting, this is…

Riemann's hypothesis, formulated in 1859, concerns the location of the zeros of Riemann's Zeta function. The history of the Riemann hypothesis is well known. In 1859, the German mathematician B. Riemann presented a paper to the Berlin…

In the preprint of 1993 the author formulated some conjectures on monotonicity of ratios for exponential series remainders. They are equivalent to conjectures on monotonicity of a ratio of Kummer hypergeometric functions and presumably not…

For the complete five-valued cross-correlation distribution between two $m$-sequences ${s_t}$ and ${s_{dt}}$ of period $2^m-1$ that differ by the decimation $d={{2^{2k}+1}\over {2^k+1}}$ where $m$ is odd and $\mbox{gcd}(k,m)=1$, Johansen…

The Alternative Hypothesis concerns a hypothetical and unlikely picture of how zeros of the Riemann zeta function are spaced which one would like to rule out. In the Alternative Hypothesis, the renormalized distance between nontrivial zeros…

We prove a conjecture by D. Zeilberger on the determinant of a certain matrix and relate it to a problem of non-existence of 1-cycles in this note.

Let $G$ be a group and $H_1$,\ldots,$H_s$ be subgroups of $G$ of indices $d_1,\ldots,d_s$ respectively. In 1974, M. Herzog and J. Sch\"onheim conjectured that if $\{H_i\alpha_i\}_{i=1}^{i=s}$, $\alpha_i\in G$, is a coset partition of $G$,…

Odd-frequency superconductivity, originally proposed by Berezinskii in 1974, is an exotic phase of matter in which Cooper pairing between electrons is entirely dynamical in nature. The pair potential is an odd function of frequency, leading…
